State pension funds purchase crypto ETFs for spot

Commenting on this, Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, mentioned it was a “huge win” for Ethereum. Particularly, it is because the value of BTC has seen large positive aspects in comparison with ETH, which has struggled fairly a bit over the previous few months.
Balchunas wrote in an article on X:
“Not solely did Michigan pensions purchase Ether ETFs, they purchased greater than Bitcoin ETFs, $10 million versus $7 million, even though BTC was up a ton and the ether is within the gutter. A reasonably large win for ether who might use one.
A number of US states have disclosed their spot ETF holdings because the SEC accepted BTC ETFs in January this 12 months. These embrace the State of Wisconsin Funding Board and Florida, whose chief monetary officer revealed in an interview final week that the state's crypto holdings complete round $800 million.
